In order to help you get out to our hostel we've included this picture guide. Unlike the west, in Japan most streets don't have any name, so direction must usually be given in relation to buildings, landmarks, etc. The route might seem a bit confusing at first but it's the fastest and easiest way to reach us. Enjoy stretching your legs after the long flight, take a look at the shops along Nakamise-dori, and enjoy the beauty of Sensoji along the walk to the hostel. If you get lost, feel free to ask a nearby Japanese person for help – the people in Asakusa are known for their friendliness.     Directions from Asakusa Line Asakusa Station - takes about 11 minutes Take exit A4 and turn right.
